{quote} ...and would those 100 traders trade differently if they were told that the markets we're random, I think right or wrong, most would still try to find some pattern in the randomness, maybe a question to all "How would you trade if you thought the markets were random"...just something to think about...

Hence "know yourself, know your enemy".

That's why it take years to become proficient at trading this beast. Many fall by the wayside, but for those who don't, for those who persist and are teachable, there is much to gain.

And then you get to the best bit, "win without fighting".

If the markets were random I'd stop trading and go and buy lottery tickets instead.

The FX market trades about 8 trillion daily. That's an awful lot of money, traders and trades.
Why is it then that price can turn on a dime at a particular price point?
If price is rising at a fair lick then suddenly reverses have all those trades/traders suddenly closed all their positions at exactly the same time?
Or at that exact moment sellers start to enter the market and overwhelm the buyers?
Or is it that price is controlled by the one entity that has enough money and means to do that?

GU 265 has played s/r since '22. USDX also stuck on a RN.

What you've done here is avoided the question by asking questions, if you just answer my question I'll be happy to answer yours...

buyers overwhelming sellers and vice versa. Buyers and sellers do not need to suddenly enter the market for one to be overwhelmed by the other. Both are present, but the volume of one over the other determines direction at any given time.

There is nothing random about what price does. It's controlled right down to the last pip.

Not trying to be funny but you've avoided the question again, it's ok to say that you don't know, I don't know if markets are random or not ...

Do you believe the market is random? If yes why did you think so?
It's very OK to say you don't know

I think the price fluctuates only in M1-H1, it only vibrates, and from the H4 time frame upwards certain conclusions can be drawn.

these are all corrective options.
NOT ACCIDENTAL.

Don't know why yet, but it looks like she's going down to me (GU). I don't bother trying to figure it out anymore, just follow the TA. And that isn't to say GU won't go back up some before heading back south. Can't see UJ going south, and in which case, with UJ north, GU will go south. That gap on EURGBP is going to get plugged, one way or the other.

It will be an interesting week for the PA following the triple witch last Thursday/Friday, both currencies and indices.

Last Friday, GBPUSD price action on the daily time frame broke down the 1.28000/1.26670 horizontal channel (magenta) where is it has been consolidating for several days. However, there is no bearish momentum and the bearish candlestick printed on Friday has equal-sized shadows on both ends. We may still see a northward pullback to an area of value in the early part of this week before a southward rotation. The dominant technical structure is bearish.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.
